Well Cindy, Karel is only blaming himself ;-)
I have to agree with him that it's a silly rule and it does not serve
any pupose in a 1000 Km flight.
I think that all rules must have a clear purpose.
Can anyone explain the purpose of the 10 Km-rule in a 1000 Km flight?
A complicating factor is also the very complex airspace structure in
our part of the world.

BTW this flight is an excellent achievement.
Have a look at:

It inspired several other contenders to go after the first official
1000 km FAI diploma flown from the Netherlands.

Would it be possible to satisfy the 10km separation between TPs 1 and
3 by judicious use of a "virtual" TP (1 or 3) on this flight? In other
words, declare a point 10 km away from TP 1 but on the track for TP 3?
Might be fun to play with it in SeeYou.

The flying is getting easier; it's the rest that is getting hard!

But it's still all a lot of fun.

Great flight, BTW.
